In Big Miracle, a small-town reporter (John Krasinski) and an environmentalist (Drew Barrymore) start a international coalition to rescue a pod of three gray whales trapped under ice off the coast of Alaska. In 1988, Minnesota reporter Jason Davis was on location in Alaska and reported on the rescue mission as it was happening.
Davis filed 11 reports from the rescue mission for Eyewitness New 5 in Minnesota. Davis talks about reporting from the Arctic Ocean and shares riveting rescue footage in a new ReelzChannel special, Big Miracle: Real to Reel, premiering Saturday, Feb. 4 at 6:30 PM ET / 3:30 PM PT. The special is hosted by Dermot Mulroney, who stars in Big Miracle as Col. Scott Boyer — a character based on the real-life Col. Tom Carroll, who played a critical role in organizing the rescue effort during the 1988 incident. Reelz viewers will also hear from Big Miracle stars Barrymore, Krasinski, and Ted Danson.

The Internet loves a good freak out video — add a celebrity and it's sure to rack up the views. This is exactly what happened when, on Tuesday's Ellen DeGeneres show, Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) shared her love for sloths along with a clip.
For Bell's 31st birthday last summer, funnyman Dax Shepard surprised his wife with a special gift. Bell, an avid lover of sloths, knew what the gift was before even seeing it and was overcome with joy. And tears. As she told Ellen:
My entire life had been waiting for this moment where I would get to interact — I'm serious — with a sloth.
